PSC engages Colombian business delegation on investment opportunities in Guyana

The Private Sector Commission (PSC) today welcomed a Colombian business delegation comprising representatives from 13 companies, each expressing a strong interest in exploring investment and business opportunities in Guyana across a range of key sectors.

The delegation represented industries including energy, engineering, construction, substations and utilities, industrial services, metalwork, and manufacturing. Throughout the engagement, participants highlighted their expertise and discussed the value they can bring to Guyana’s rapidly expanding economy.

PSC Chairman Captain Gerald Gouveia Jr. provided an overview of the Commission’s role in advancing private sector development and outlined Guyana’s ambitious five-year development agenda. He spoke about the country’s transformation into a regional logistics hub, the expanding investment landscape, and the significant opportunities available to local and international businesses.

A major focus of the Chairman’s presentation was the importance of forming consortiums and business clusters, particularly within the energy sector, to enable local and international companies to combine expertise, strengthen competitiveness, and successfully participate in Guyana’s growing pipeline of projects.

To facilitate practical collaboration, the Colombian companies were matched with relevant Guyanese chambers of commerce and businesses operating in similar sectors, creating opportunities for business-to-business engagement, knowledge sharing, and the development of future partnerships.

The PSC said it welcomes opportunities to connect Guyanese businesses with international partners, foster strategic collaborations, and create new avenues for investment, trade, and sustainable economic growth.
